Well When I First Came To Town
They Called Me The Roving Jewel
Now They′ve Changed Their TuneCall Me Katie Cruel

And When I First Came To Town
They Bought Me Drinks A'plenty
Now They′ve Changed Their Tune
Hand Me The Bottles Empty

And If I Was Where I Would Be
Then I'd Be Where I Am Not
Here I Am Where I Must Be
Where I Would Be, I Cannot
Oh Diddle Aye, Hum Diddle Aye, Diddle Ay

Through The Woods I Am Going
Down Through The Boggy Mires
Straightway Down The Road
'Til I Come To My Heart′s Desire

And If I Was Where I Would Be
Then I′d Be Where I Am Not
Here I Am Where I Must Be
Where I Would Be, I Cannot
Oh Diddle Aye, Hum Diddle Aye, Diddle Ay

Well When I First Came To Town
They Called Me The Roving Jewel
Now They've Changed Their Tune
Call Me Katie Cruel

And When I First Came To Town
They Bought Me Drinks A′plenty
Now They've Changed Their Tune
Hand Me The Bottles Empty

And If I Was Where I Would Be
Then I′d Be Where I Am Not
Here I Am Where I Must Be
Where I Would Be, I Cannot
Oh Diddle Aye, Hum Diddle Aye, Diddle Ay
